Gaps in C.I.A.'s Ames Case May Be Filled by F.B.I.'s Own Spy Case
By JAMES RISEN
Published: February 21, 2001
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20— When a Central Intelligence Agency officer, Aldrich H. Ames, was arrested as a spy for Moscow in 1994, critics questioned how the agency could have allowed his espionage to go undetected for nine years. Officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation helped fuel the criticism with complaints that the C.I.A. had failed to share sensitive information, stifling the investigation.
Now the F.B.I. finds the shoe on the other foot, facing questions about how it allowed a senior bureau official to spy for Moscow for nearly twice as long as Mr. Ames had.
After the arrest of the F.B.I. official, Robert Philip Hanssen, 56, on Sunday in a suburban Virginia park, where he was suspected of leaving classified material for his Russian handlers, officials are saying he may be the most damaging spy for Moscow since Mr. Ames.
In an extensive affidavit released today, the government charged that Mr. Hanssen compromised spies working for the United States, including three Russian K.G.B. officers who had also been betrayed by Mr. Ames. Two of those officers were tried and executed; the third was imprisoned and later released.
Mr. Hanssen is also suspected of being the person who tipped off Moscow to the 1989 spy investigation of a State Department official, Felix S. Bloch. The F.B.I. believes that Mr. Bloch was subsequently warned by the K.G.B. Mr. Bloch was never arrested for espionage, but was fired from the State Department.
Current and former American officials also say Mr. Hanssen's case may help explain the losses of technical intelligence operations against the Russians for which investigators were never certain that Mr. Ames could be blamed.
''This explains a lot,'' one former official said. ''There were things that we thought might have been done by Ames, but we always thought that it was a stretch for Ames to have known about certain programs.''
Current and former officials say there has been strong suspicion in the intelligence community for several years that the Russians still had at least one high-level agent, possibly more, within the government.
But Mr. Hanssen's case is more than just a historical curiosity. As a 25-year F.B.I. veteran who spent most of his career in counterintelligence, Mr. Hanssen had access to a wide array of highly sensitive cases and documents, and the F.B.I. believes he became a frequent user of the bureau's computers to supplement his own knowledge.
The F.B.I. director, Louis J. Freeh, said he was troubled that a hostile agent could go undetected for 15 years, while using internal computer systems to protect himself and gain access to sensitive material. Mr. Freeh is reviewing internal security procedures to determine why they failed in this case.
According to the government affidavit, Mr. Hanssen volunteered to spy for the Soviet Union in October 1985, just five months after Mr. Ames did, yet he managed to avoid detection for seven years longer. The F.B.I. suggested today that he may have been more successful because his counterintelligence training made him far more knowledgeable about how the F.B.I. detects and catches spies.
That training also made him far more careful in his dealings with the Russians. The F.B.I. believes that he never gave the Russians his name or identified his agency. He never even met with his Russian handlers, instead volunteering via letter to a senior K.G.B. officer in Washington.
The Hanssen case seems certain to shed light on some of the most celebrated spy cases of the final years of the cold war, cases which many believed were already settled history.
Most notably, Mr. Hanssen, officials say, corroborated some of the information that Mr. Ames was providing to the K.G.B., which certainly would have increased Moscow's confidence in the secret material it was receiving from both agents. The government says Mr. Hanssen revealed to the K.G.B. that two of its own officers serving in Washington in the mid-1980's, Valery F. Martinov and Sergei M. Motorin, were working for the F.B.I. In addition, he revealed that Boris Yuzhin, a Soviet intelligence officer in San Francisco in the late 1970's and early 1980's, had been recruited by the F.B.I.
Mr. Ames, who volunteered to spy for the Soviets in April 1985, had also revealed the identities of all three by June of that year, the F.B.I. believes.
But now it is clear for the first time that the K.G.B. did not rely solely on Mr. Ames for evidence needed to arrest those officers. Mr. Hanssen is suspected of identifying the three K.G.B. agents in October 1985. Mr. Motorin and Mr. Martinov were tried and executed, with Mr. Martinov being lured back to Moscow in November 1985, when he was asked to serve as a member of an honor guard escorting a K.G.B. officer, Vitaly Yurchenko, home after his defection to the United States and his redefection to the Soviet Union. Mr. Yuzhin was arrested in December 1986, imprisoned and then released in 1992. He has resettled in the United States.
Mr. Freeh said at a news conference today that Mr. Hanssen used the F.B.I.'s computers to see whether the bureau's counterintelligence investigators were on to him. Mr. Hanssen's easy access to the F.B.I.'s computer system may be one focus of the F.B.I. review.
Mr. Hanssen, the government says, was a prodigious spy. In an espionage career that spanned 15 1/2 years, the government charges, he wrote 27 letters to the K.G.B., later the S.V.R., and handed over some 6,000 pages of documentary material. Those documents contained a wide array of United States secrets, the government says, including information about the F.B.I.'s double-agent program, future American intelligence requirements and an assessment of the K.G.B.'s efforts to spy on American nuclear programs.
The government charges that he also turned over a top-secret F.B.I. review of information from defectors about Soviet infiltration of the intelligence community.
In addition to compromising sensitive technical intelligence operations against the Russians, the affidavit states, Mr. Hanssen betrayed the techniques the F.B.I. used to keep track of Soviet and Russian officers in the United States.
For most of the last five years, Mr. Hanssen was the F.B.I.'s chief representative at the State Department, but F.B.I. officials do not believe those were his most productive years as a spy. They do not believe, for example, that he was involved in the Russian operation to plant a listening device in a State Department conference room.
The affidavit went on to describe actions that seemed to implicate Mr. Hanssen. In a letter to his Russian handlers in June that was reprinted in the affidavit, Mr. Hanssen made it clear he wanted to be of greater help. He told the Russians that he needed a faster and more secure means of communicating with them, perhaps with a new Palm VII organizer with wireless Internet capability. If he had a faster way to contact the Russians, the letter states, he might have been able to warn Moscow that a listening device had been found at the State Department. ''Such matters are why I need rapid communications,'' the reprinted letter states. ''It can save you much grief.''
At the State Department, Mr. Hanssen may have been out of the daily flow of the most sensitive counterintelligence operations, but he still attended weekly staff meetings of the F.B.I.'s national security division, officials said.
The period when Mr. Hanssen had the potential to do his greatest damage came earlier. He volunteered to the K.G.B. while assigned to the F.B.I.'s intelligence division in New York, where he was a supervisor of a counterintelligence squad.
Just before he is said to have sent his letter to the Russians, he was a supervisory agent in the intelligence division at F.B.I. headquarters, where he was on a panel dealing with technical projects used by the bureau in counterintelligence. While the F.B.I. did not identify those projects in its affidavit, they may have involved sophisticated electronic means to monitor K.G.B. officers serving in the United States.
From 1987 through 1990, Mr. Hanssen was a supervisor in the F.B.I.'s Soviet analytical unit, and later a program manager in the intelligence division's Soviet operations unit.
Perhaps his most sensitive post came in late 1994, when he worked briefly in the office of the F.B.I.'s assistant director for national security, the official in charge of all bureau intelligence operations.
That posting came just months after Mr. Ames's arrest, and was at a time when the F.B.I. was gaining the upper hand over the C.I.A. in their long-running war for control over counterintelligence.
Former United States intelligence officials noted that after the Ames case, the F.B.I. gained the right of ''full visibility'' into the C.I.A.'s Russian operations, a move intended to allow the agencies to work jointly and quickly to catch spies. It is unclear whether Mr. Hanssen's espionage benefited from that policy shift.
Officials indicated today that Mr. Hanssen was, in turn, betrayed by another spy. They said that late last year a source provided the United States with Russian documents that pointed to Mr. Hanssen. The affidavit released today provided a remarkably detailed account of his career as a Russian agent, information that seemingly could come only from old K.G.B. files.
Those Russian documents revealed to the F.B.I. that Moscow did not know Mr. Hanssen's real name -- he gave them only code names -- and may have learned it only after his arrest. In the past, other spies have worked anonymously as well. For example, Sergei Vorontsov, a K.G.B. officer in Moscow, volunteered to work for the C.I.A. without identifying himself. American intelligence officers did not learn his identity until he was arrested in 1986.
Photos Chart: ''Pieces of an F.B.I. Spying Puzzle Some of the major events in the case against Robert Philip Hanssen, according to the affidavit filed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The F.B.I. says that B was one of the code names Mr. Hanssen used while spying for the Soviet Union and its main successor state, Russia. Some of the Activities of the K.G.B.'s B Operation OCTOBER 1985: B sends classified documents, including the names of three of the F.B.I.'s sources at the Soviet Embassy in Washington -- all previously identified by ALDRICH H. AMES -- to a K.G.B. agent at the embassy and receives his first payment shortly thereafter. JUNE 1986: B asks the K.G.B. to run a classified advertisement for a 1971 Dodge Diplomat with a phone number to reopen ''discussions,'' after failing to pick up a package in March. NOVEMBER 1987: B passes along a technical description of a classified internal intelligence community computer network. JULY 1988: B provides another package of more than 530 pages, including a top-secret F.B.I. review of Soviet recruits and defectors. MAY 1989: B provides information on FELIX S. BLOCH, a Foreign Service officer in Vienna, compromising the F.B.I.'s investigation of Mr. Bloch. AUGUST 1989: B provides information on a classified and very expensive technical project. DECEMBER 1991: B passes along a C.I.A. research paper on the K.G.B. and material on the budget of the F.B.I. foreign counterintelligence program. The Investigation Turns to Hanssen FEBRUARY 1995: Mr. Hanssen is assigned as an F.B.I. representative to the State Department. JULY 1997: Mr. Hanssen begins searching an internal F.B.I. database of cases for his name and street address and phrases relating to a common method of passing information in secret. He continues these searches every few months until Jan. 22 of this year. JANUARY 2001: Mr. Hanssen is assigned to a new position at F.B.I. headquarters, so the F.B.I. can keep a closer watch on him. SUNDAY, FEB. 18, 2001: The F.B.I. arrests Mr. Hanssen at a park in Vienna, Va. Other Major Recent Espionage Cases In the United States By The Associated Press 2000 GEORGE TROFIMOFF, a retired Army Reserve colonel, was accused of spying for the Soviet Union and Russia for a quarter of a century. He is the highest-ranking American military officer ever charged with espionage. Prosecutors said that he photographed documents and passed the film to K.G.B. agents, and that he was later recruited into the K.G.B. 1997 EARL PITTS, who was stationed at the F.B.I. Academy in Quantico, Va., was sentenced to 27 years in prison after admitting he spied for Moscow. 1996 HAROLD JAMES NICHOLSON, a C.I.A. officer, was charged with committing espionage on behalf of Russia. At the time of his arrest at a Washington airport, he was carrying rolls of exposed film which contained secret and top-secret information. He pleaded guilty to the charges in 1997 and was sentenced to 23 years in prison. 1994 ALDRICH H. AMES, a C.I.A. counterintelligence official and his wife, ROSARIO, pleaded guilty to spying for the Soviet Union in what was characterized as the most damaging espionage case in the nation's history. Mr. Ames passed information to the Soviets from 1985 to 1994, including the identities of American agents. He is blamed for the deaths of at least nine United States agents in the Soviet Union, and for disclosing American counterintelligence techniques. 1989 FELIX S. BLOCH, a Foreign Service officer, was suspended by the State Department after reportedly being monitored by video camera passing a suitcase to a Soviet agent in Paris. Mr. Bloch, who was once chargé d'affaires at the United States Embassy in Vienna, was not charged with espionage, but was fired in 1990 on the grounds that he lied to investigators. 1986 JONATHAN JAY POLLARD, a civilian Navy intelligence analyst, pleaded guilty to spying for Israel. He is serving a life sentence, which former President Bill Clinton refused to commute despite pleas from the Israeli government. 1986 RONALD W. PELTON, a former National Security Agency employee, was convicted of selling top-secret information about signals intelligence to the Soviet Union. 1985 LARRY WU-TAI CHIN, a retired C.I.A. analyst, was charged with selling American secrets to China for more than 30 years. He killed himself in his jail cell in 1986, two weeks after being convicted of espionage and tax violations. EDWARD LEE HOWARD, a former C.I.A. officer, fled the country as the F.B.I. was investigating him for spying for the Soviet Union. where he turned up in 1986 and still lives. A retired Navy warrant officer, JOHN A. WALKER JR., pleaded guilty along with his son, Seaman MICHAEL L. WALKER of the Navy, to charges of spying for the Soviet Union. The elder Walker admitted passing secrets to the Soviets while he was a shipboard communications officer and after his retirement by recruiting his son, brother and a friend to provide fresh information. 1984 RICHARD W. MILLER, an F.B.I. agent in Los Angeles, was arrested on spying charges and sentenced to 20 years in prison. The sentence was reduced to 13 years, and he was released in 1994. 1980 DAVID H. BARNETT, a former C.I.A. agent, pleaded guilty to spying for the Soviet Union from 1976 to 1979 while based in Indonesia. He admitted exposing the identities of 30 agents. (photos)

Juliet Lyon, Director of the Prison Reform Trust, gave evidence to the House of Commons Welsh Affairs Committee inquiry 'prisons in Wales and treatment of Welsh offenders' on Tuesday 13 January, the evidence session examined the ill thought through plans to build a new super-sized 2,000 place prison in Wrexham. PRT's written evidence to the committee said that the plans are unlikely to bring the benefits to the Welsh economy that have been claimed, and are instead an English solution to an English problem.
The Committee considered the recommendation of the Silk Commission to devolve youth justice. It examined how the National Offender Management Service and Welsh Government can hold people closer to their families and support networks, improve resettlement for people returning to Wales and increase cooperation between devolved and non-devolved bodies in meeting the needs of Welsh offenders.

Too many women in the UK are still being sent to prison instead of receiving community sanctions and targeted support to address the causes of their offending, according to a leading women's voluntary organisation.
The women's prison population doubled between 1995 and 2010. Most women in prison serve short prison sentences for non-violent offences and many have themselves been victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse. In 2011 the Soroptimist UK Programme Action Committee resolved to work with the Prison Reform Trust to reduce women's imprisonment.
Now a wealth of information gathered by 139 Soroptimists clubs across the UK has been distilled into a report that is intended to spur national and local governments into action. The report recommends the development in England and Wales of a cross-government strategy for women's justice, led by the Minister for Female Offenders. Recommendations for improvements to the oversight of women's justice in Scotland and Northern Ireland are also highlighted.

The high court has overturned the restrictions on prisoners receiving book under the Incentives and Earned Privileges (IEP) scheme. Changes to the IEP scheme introduced in November 2013 included a ban on prisoners receiving parcels, including books, writing materials and other basic items. The policy must now be amended so that it excludes prisoners receiving books from friends and family. In his judgement, Mr Justice Collins said that as far as books are concerned, "to refer to them as a privilege is strange".
Earlier this year the Prison Reform Trust published a briefing, Punishment without purpose, highlighting the impact of the changes to the IEP scheme on rehabilitation, fairness and decency behind bars. Commenting on the briefing in his judgment, Mr Collins said:
"A report from the Prison Reform Trust has highlighted the hostility to the new PSI and has set out concerns that it is undermining the rehabilitative purpose of prisoners. It is what is seen to be the ban on receipt of parcels or items from visitors which has provided the greatest concern. The inclusion of books in the scheme is seen as a ban. Overall, the IEP as now operated seems to fail to recognise that it is deprivation of liberty that is the penalty imposed and that any further restrictions must be fully justified."

34 reviews | 3.5 out of 5
I got this tv for my 3 year old and he loves it. It IS a LED TV and the picture is very crisp and clear. Great colors! It is definitely worth the money. Not to mention, the size is perfect!
great picture, great sound at an excellent price and not to mention the fast delivery. we are very happy.
Item was site to store purchase and returned same day as picked up.
Looked good, contained all necessary parts for installation. Went together easy.
Picture good, sound "tinny" but acceptable for the price paid.
However, obvious tuner issues became apparent within one hour of hooking it up.
First issue was a weird snowy interference when dialing in a new channel. Then it
wouldn't change channels either by remote or by using buttons on the side.
Sound went off, then came back on, then went off again. It being a refurbished item makes me think these issues were why it was returned or rejected in the first place. Or maybe mine was just a lemon. You get what you pay for.
This product was what I expected. The product was easy to set up. It was a great buy for what you ended up paying for it. The picture was pretty good. The sound was pretty good also. I might buy another one.
good value
Purchased refurbished tvs for bedrooms, all HD. They all have worked beautifully.
I limit my review because I had to return my purchase. it was missing parts which though not essential, they were needed for my application of this product. I stand by Walmart as an excellent seller, and understand that they don't control the manufacturing facilities that package the item I purchased. I was able to replace it at my local store with no problem. Thanks Walmart.
A true electronics buff would probably not give this unit such high rating. However for the regular customer who wants a simple TV for the best price. This fits the bill. I mounted it on the wall in my office and is meets my needs perfectly!
I am very pleased with this television. It arrived quickly and undamaged. It was very easy to set up and configure. Before I purchased this tv I was somewhat concerned about other reviewers dissatisfation with the sound quality. However, I have found it to be just fine. Further, there are options to configure the sound to one's particular preference. This TV was a great buy and I highly recommend it to others.
I ordered this TV, I have to admit I was skeptical but when it arrived I was pleased, it was packed really well and the picture quality was really surprising over all I recommend this TV was good for what I want it and for what I paid for...
I think this refurbished model is an excellent value for the price. Just the size I needed.
Great buy old one lost sound and could not hear it. Got this one and the price was right. Could not be happy with this set. When I get into my new house will be getting more.
this product met all my expectations and then some great value and product
For the cost, it was worth it. I also purchased the warranty...good deal.
For the price I paid, this TV is a great deal. Put it in a workout room and it works great. The only negative would be the sound, while sound is clear, it does sound a bit "tinny." But for the purpose it was purchased, I can live with it.
Although I have not had any problems with my TV and I would recommend it to a friend, I was disappointed when it arrived with scratches to the frame ( around the TV ).
one out of two wouldn't turn on.
WHEN I GOT IT BY MAIL I WAS excited until i open the box. i got the tv and lay it on my bed once i picked it up 1 bolt came off and the fame has some scratches. the sound sounds far away. i had to get a HDMI cable because the picture didnt look nice with my cable box and it should look nice without the HDMI cable. well its on you if you want to buy it thats my experience.
This T.V. completely quit working on the third day we got it! Although I am getting a replacement that should arrive tomorrow. I replaced it with the same t.v. hoping the one I had was just a fluke. The picture, sound and features are really nice so I decided to give it a second try. Walmart.com was exceptional on their customer service and sent another out ASAP. I am in hopes that this one will work just fine! That is why I rated it 2 stars.
The TV looks pretty good, maybe a bit cheap with the flimsy plastic base that should have been more stable. But it's thin and light, and LED. The sound is weak and tinny as others have stated. Not enough depth of sound. The picture is just OK. There are some unevenly bright/dim zones, nothing major. 720p on screen this small is good enough. The remote control has a lot of buttons, and came with batteries as expected. My major issue and where this TV fails is the dead pixel in the middle-left of the screen. There is an annoying red dot that won't go away regardless of what is being watched. For the price, not worth the effort of exchanging it. Your reaction may be different, so be warned it could happen to you. I also have had tuner issues as another review stated, where channels just don't respond, the screen sometimes goes black. Not quite a "reboot" of the TV, but something is definitely going on before it starts responding again. VERY annoying. Since it's a refurb, I guess I could have expected something wrong that was unresolved. I started with low expectations, and sadly they weren't quite met. I have a similar size Sansui TV that I got brand new for the same price as this refurb a couple years ago, and the Sansui is much better. So there are better deals if you are patient enough to find them.

Jump Technologies, St. Paul, Minn., which markets a cloud-based proof-of-delivery and inventory control app, was named to the 100 Great Supply chain Projects by Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine, the company reported.
The company was recognized for its project in automating the proof-of-delivery functions for the Washington D.C.-area based ImpactOffice Group with its JumpTrack applications.
ImpactOffice Group operates 33 trucks in the Washington, D.C., metro area making about 1,000 stops per day. The application improved the operation's efficiency enough to eliminate one truck, the company said.
Drivers download delivery information into their Android devices and obtain an electronic signature at each delivery. That delivery information is then automatically uploaded into JumpTrack's cloud-based application.

Frequency and severity of ketoacidosis at onset of autoimmune type 1 diabetes over the past decade in children referred to a tertiary paediatric care centre: potential impact of a national programme highlighted
ABSTRACT Aims:
To assess the frequency and severity of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at disease onset in children newly diagnosed with autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Istanbul in the last decade. Also, to evaluate the potential contribution of the national diabetes awareness programme (NDAP) initiated in 2010.
Four hundred and one consecutive children (mean ± standard deviation, age 8.1 ± 4.1 years) with a diagnosis of autoimmune T1D were evaluated retrospectively with respect to demographic, clinical, and laboratory data in relation to DKA at disease onset. The possible impact of NDAP on the rate of DKA at disease onset in the last 2 years was also evaluated by comparing the data related to the time intervals before and after the onset of the programme. The results were evaluated at 95% confidence interval and significance was granted for p ≤ 0.05.
The overall frequency of DKA at disease onset was 44.2%, with a significant trend for decline in rate of DKA at disease onset in the last decade (p=0.0001). There were no significant differences in proportions of newly diagnosed T1D patients with severe or moderate DKA over time. Mean body mass index standard deviation score tended to increase in the last decade, but not significantly (p=0.09). When the time intervals before and after the onset of NDAP were evaluated, there was a more than two-fold decrease in rate of DKA (from 49.3% to 23.9%) (p<0.0001).
The frequency of a DKA event at onset of T1D is still high in Istanbul children despite a decreasing trend in the last decade. NDAP may significantly contribute to the reduction in rate of DKA.
Article: The levels of circulating TRAIL at the onset of type 1 diabetes are markedly decreased in patients with ketoacidosis and with the highest insulin requirement[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Experimental evidence in animal models suggests that TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), a member of the TNF superfamily, might play an important role in type 1 diabetes (T1D). We have performed a retrospective study by analyzing the sera of a cohort of pediatric subjects (age ≤18 years; n = 507) consisting of (1) patients diagnosed with T1D (n = 387), (2) healthy individuals (n = 98, considered as controls), and (3) healthy autoantibody-positive subjects (n = 22). Patients with T1D exhibited significantly decreased levels of circulating TRAIL with respect to the control healthy subjects, as well as to the healthy autoantibody-positive subjects. Within the T1D group, no differences in the levels of circulating TRAIL were observed between patients with or without other concomitant autoimmune pathologies. Of note, the levels of TRAIL were significantly lower in the T1D patients analyzed at onset, although reduction in TRAIL levels persisted also in patients analyzed after disease onset (>1 year from diagnosis). In particular, T1D patients who exhibited ketoacidosis at onset showed significantly lower levels of circulating TRAIL with respect to patients without ketoacidosis at onset. Moreover, the levels of TRAIL at diagnosis correlated inversely with the insulin requirement up to 21 months of follow-up. This is the first study demonstrating that the levels of circulating TRAIL are significantly decreased in T1D, with the lowest levels of TRAIL being observed in patients with ketoacidosis at the onset and with the highest insulin requirement.Acta Diabetologica 08/2013; 51(2).

Article: Accessibility of the reference center as a protective factor against ketoacidosis at the onset of diabetes in children[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Abstract Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening condition occurring in patients with newly developed type 1 diabetes. Objective: To investigate the factors associated with the risk of DKA and the duration of diabetic symptoms reflected by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level. Methods: The study group included 652 children admitted to our department with newly diagnosed diabetes. Clinical data were collected from available medical records. The distance between the patient's house and the hospital was calculated using a Google Maps-based distance calculator. Results: Ketoacidosis of any severity was present in 189 patients (30.14%). The mean HbA1c level at admission was 11.76%±2.57%. Children admitted directly to the specialist center were less likely to develop DKA: odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval, 95% CI)=0.45 (0.26-0.78). Older age exerted a protective effect: OR (95% CI)=0.92 (0.87-0.96). Patients living farther from the center had higher HbA1c levels: β (95% CI)=0.10 (0.01-0.18). Having a parent with diabetes promoted an earlier diagnosis of diabetes, as evidenced by lower HbA1c: β (95% CI): -0.18 (-0.27 to -0.96) and marginally lower risk of DKA: OR (95% CI)=0.50 (0.22-1.12). Conclusion: Rapid transfer to the specialist center plays a crucial role in the prevention of DKA.Journal of pediatric endocrinology & metabolism: JPEM 07/2014; 27(11-12).

Donuts with Less Guilt: Gluten-Free, Agave-Sweetened and Good
I haven't had a donut, slice of cake, ice cream cone, croissant or handful of delicious, Ghiradelli bittersweet chocolate chips since mid-May, and I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself for my restraint. That was until last night, when I found myself having to leave an ice cream store where my husband was ordering a chocolate milk shake, overcome by a strange stew of feelings that included sadness, jealousy, and feverish resolve.
I need something sweet, and Babycakes NYC came to my rescue.
Babycakes bills itself as a "refined sugar-free, gluten-free, wheat-free, soy-free, casein-free, egg-free, vegan, kosher" bakery on the Lower East Side. I visited the bakery this morning to pick up a birthday cake.
Whose birthday? Mine, in one week. (I'M 48, EVERYONE.) The occasion? An early birthday get-together with friends later tonight.
I picked a chocolate cake (garbanzo-fava bean flour) with chocolate frosting (coconut oil, agave nectar and unsweetened cocoa powder). I didn't get a chance to see the cake before they boxed it, so I don't have a photo to share.
But I do have a shot of one of their donuts. Wow.
They were unexpectedly light and spongey. I had a salted caramel-frosted one, and a cookie coffee crunch-covered one.
The whole point, for me, in avoiding refined wheat flour and refined sugar isn't because I've got celiac disease or am a diabetic. It's to avoid the roller coaster craving ride they put me on — physically and psychologically.
My donut foray today was without major disasters or consequences. Which is to say, I am not trolling the hallways of the radio station, looking for the leftover pastries and bagels from The Takeaway morning crew or uneaten brownies from an event thrown by Radio Rookies.
But I am feeling a little light-headed. Let's hope that's due to the euphoria of finding desserts I can enjoy without (a lot of) guilt.

We love the live Trivia on Tuesdays from 7-9pm! Pitchers of beer on special.
We love the live Trivia on Tuesdays from 7-9pm! Pitchers of beer on special.
Healthy options for breakfast and lunch! We've gotten friendly service each time, even when it was super busy. Grab a small cup of coffee while you wait for a table.
While the hotel is clean, and the staff very nice, the doors on the rooms cause awfully loud slamming at all hours. Plus, our key entry broke, & we were placed in wrong room at first.
Great food, fun times! Family friendly up front until 9pm, and non-smoking!
Dear employees here: If you're going to charge me more for a small coffee than a medium, and don't even know you carry a veggie breakfast burrito, don't talk to me like I'M the idiot.
This Cancun is the best of all of them! For some reason, it's just better than all the others!
The Ranchero Wrap definitely has a spicy hot kick! I need a refill on my tea now to stop the burning on my tongue!
Salad: black beans, chicken, pico, light cheese, and dressing. Yum!
REALLY needs at least 2 people on staff at all times here. Food is great, but watching one person handle a dinner rush is painful.
Uppity. Boring. Overpriced.

Jam TImeRead MoreWhen Malcolm and Mandy Sim welcomed two children into the world, the veterans of both the animation and theme-park industries visited numerous indoor play centers in Los Angeles, hoping to find the one that best suited their kids. Nothing quite clicked, however, which inspired the parents to call upon their entertainment backgrounds and develop their own indoor facility. Since relocating to the Boston area, the Sims have opened Jam Time, where youngsters aged 3 months to 6 years can surmount climbing structures, leap about in a bounce house, or shop in a pretend grocery market before whipping up faux soufflés in the playhouse kitchen. Classroom sessions further engage tykes with art projects, science classes, and princess-etiquette lessons, where young ladies learn to detect whether evil witches have booby-trapped their science projects. Soft play toys engage visiting toddlers and infants, while adults surf free WiFi, sip gourmet coffee, or enjoy a treat from the organic snack bar.86 Powder Mill RoadMaynard, MA US
Paint N PourRead MoreAt Paint 'n Pour, students must be careful not to mistake their red paintbrush's rinsing cup for a glass of pinot noir. That's because though all ages are welcome, adults can bring their own alcoholic beverages to the studio, toasting to each other's progress as they learn to recreate existing paintings during two- to three-hour classes. Throughout each session, instructors impart the techniques to form impressionistic cherry blossoms, Fenway Park lit up at night, or Van Gogh's swirling stars. The specific piece to recreate changes throughout the week, and regular open painting sessions allow guests to use Paint 'n Pour's canvases and paints to create their own original pieces at their own pace. The studio also hosts private events and kids' parties, which include plenty of time for eating cake and removing the papier-mâché bust of the host used to wrap every present.55 Main StreetMaynard, MA US
Noble AirVentures LLCRead MoreThe licensed instructors at Noble AirVentures LLC build bridges into the sky for aspiring aviators through programs that range from introductory flights to pilot-certification courses. Students learn to confidently take off, land, and bank at the helm of a Cessna 172 aircraft, each carrying modern avionics equipment and rigorously inspected to exceed FAA safety standards. When not teaching new generations of pilots, the team takes passengers aloft on photo flights, which give professional and amateur photographers the chance to capture images of the Boston skyline and Fenway Park or produce an accurate answer key to this year's corn maze.302 Boxboro RoadStow, MA US

Be warned, this café doesn't serve up the traditional café affair, it's more pimped up posh nosh. Don't let that you put up you off, they still serve a version of a big breakfast but just imagine it on steroids. I ended up going for their 'Farm House' which is their largest breakfast. The meat feels like it is sourced from Ginger Pig which shows you the high quality of the ingredients. The...more
Best bacon sandwich in east London! I don't even like bacon, but this one I can't pass up.
Service is friendly, interesting menu and lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the view of the pond. I like biking here for lunch and then going around the park afterward, watching people feed the ducks, take picnics, take their strollers for a walk... Minus one star because it's on the expensive end for a...more
If your in need of a Sunday bite to eat or drink in the beautiful East London park, please head straight to this cafe!
Literally the best ingredients, best service and most wonderful views and layout around! Where else can you have bone marrow and organic mushrooms, the funniest coffee and sourdough to fresh juices and poached eggs!more
It's always a treat to brunch (it's a verb now, don't you know) at Pavilion Cafe but I do make sure it's a once in a while occurrence. An avocado bacon sandwich costs around £6, Italian style (small) coffees are costly and often inconsistently made. Sometimes cold, other times astringent.
Full breakfasts are filling and indulgent. If I remember correctly there is a vegan option too but I...more

Good drinks. Outside area. Gets crowded after 10. Lots of regulars and you can bring in your (well behaved) dog.

If you're in a hurry pick a different spot, but you'll be missing out on great food. I didn't even mind the wait but the food was definitely worth it.
All the employees seem distracted. So far got my drink order wrong, let's see about my food. I'm gonna stick with Emeryville.
Super awesome service from everyone here. Whitney is so professional!
If Cupkates truck is here, or anywhere in your vicinity, you should RUN to her!! The best cupcake I've ever had, and I'm an admitted cupcake whore. : )
Picking up my Rock the Bells tickets.
Koja kitchen was THE BOMB! An the Go (garlic noodles, lemongrass skewers) was DELICIOUS! Cremé brûlée cart was very disappointing. Pacific Puffs (creme puffs) was HEAVENLY. Not even crowded either!
Ask about the Ciders. They have different favors all the time. Have had lemon, pomegranate and huckleberry. All delicious! I'm in love with the fire grilled Garlic Chicken Wings.
Thursday nights club Jukebox with legendary DJ Page Hodel spinning the best R&B and Soul.
Trivia night on Sundays. Get there early to sign up! Plenty of board games to play.
Go on the rapids first so you're not so hot in line. Also hold your arms out so you're flying like superman.
Bob and the crew are the BEST! Trust is important in an auto repair shop and they have always been honest and fair.
They always say 30-45 min but it takes like 20 and its so hot and delicious. Good portion sizes too.
Smothered burrito was great!! I wanted to try the pickle pie but was too scared. I got a chocolate Carmel malt instead.
Don't shop for souvenirs here, they're cheaper at the General store inside the park or at Ruby's.
All the dinuts are so fluffy!! Donut holes are the best and my favs are glazed buttermilk bar and apple fritter! The place at the EC Plaza has dry burnt donuts.
Watch that curve!!!! Older lady smashed into the pole today. If not for the pole, she would have hit our car park in our driveway.

Democrats in Virginia are stopping just short of opening polling places in the graveyards to make sure every ineligible voter is counted. The state Democratic Party last week asked a federal judge in Alexandria for an injunction to block state and local election officials from deleting the names of ineligible voters. When the roll is called up yonder, in the updated hymn, the dead Democrats will still be here.
Election officials have compiled a list of 57,000 names of Virginians thought to have moved and put down roots elsewhere in the country. Election officials want to cross-check the names of nonresidents against the voter-registration lists and cross off the names of everyone who shouldn't be voting in Virginia.
Terry McAuliffe is obviously polling well among the dearly departed because his party tells the court that "the need for relief is urgent." The lawsuit argues that "the [State Board of Elections] is rushing to complete the purging in time to have the desired effect on the upcoming election." The appropriate "desired effect" is to make sure that those who no longer live here don't vote here. Every vote cast illegally cancels a legal vote.
The 13-page lawsuit warns on several pages that "the harm to the [Democratic Party of Virginia] and its members," if the purge is allowed to continue, would be "irreparable." This suggests that Democrats can't win without the help of the temporarily dead.
When voter rolls aren't cleaned up on a regular basis, the result is a voter-registration list that swells beyond the total number of residents. The Huffington Post reported in April 2011 that this happened in 14 out of the 102 counties in Illinois. Just last month, a federal court ordered Walthall County, Miss., to purge its voter rolls, which list 124 percent of the county's voting-age population.
A federal law enacted 20 years ago states that elections officials have a duty to maintain "accurate and current" voter-registration rolls. Half of the states take this responsibility seriously by sharing voter rolls to identify duplicates. A prospective voter's name, date of birth and the last four digits of his Social Security number are carefully checked twice to make sure a legitimate name is not deleted. It's in the nature of records that there will be errors, but a system of provisional balloting is already in place to allow anyone mistakenly purged to cast a vote on Election Day. Nobody would be denied the vote.
What Democrats obviously fear is that the double-checking of voter rolls can expose voter fraud of the sort that torpedoed the candidacy of Wendy Rosen, a Maryland Democrat who last year challenged Rep. Andy Harris, a Republican. She dropped out after admitting that in several elections she voted in both Florida and Maryland.
Virginia officials counted 7,934 duplicate names on the Fairfax County voter rolls, and the Democratic lawsuit asks that every one of those be allowed to cast a ballot on Nov. 5. Ghosts have rights, too, we suppose, but participating in elections with voters not yet dead is not one of them. We suggest that Mr. McAuliffe court another constituency. A live one might be more useful.

Downsizing in the 21st Century
Downsizing in the 21st Century
We Baby Boomers, born between the years 1946 and 1964, are shifting down. We aren't slowing down, but we are seriously considering the task of downsizing. Reasons for downsizing vary across the board. The task of downsizing however often is not simple.
Human reluctance argues for sentimental value and also for the fact that we, or someone else, might need the stuff later. But instead of clinging to stuff, we can "cling to your testimonies, O Lord" (Psalm 119:31).
Here are six steps to downsizing in the 21st Century.
